No One Knows it All

Woodworking is a very broad topic, and there's no one who knows it all. But fortunately we have a staff of people who each have knowledge of different specialties. So if the person you're speaking with doesn't know the answer, they'll find someone who does.

Lumber Sizes Are Random

Hardwoods come in various widths and lengths because it's in raw form as it was sawn from the log - it's not sized to any standardized dimension yet.

This is why lumber is measured by the board foot, and why you may need to buy more footage than you realize. The stack of mahogany above shows how lumber comes in many widths, rarely uniform.

How Do You Get The Sizes You Want?

1. Cut and/or glue your pieces to size in your own shop.
2. Have someone do it for you

When you order lumber from us, you can use the "Minimum Size Request" box on the order form to let us know what your minimum requirements are, or what you want to be able to create.

That means, we'll pick out boards that will yeild what you want.

We can also do custom cutting for you. Contact us for a quote.

Do You Have Woodworking Tools?

If you've got a table saw or other woodworking tools, then you're in the right place! Buy some lumber, then cut and/or glue your boards to make the sizes you need.

Use the "Minimum Size Request" box to ask for boards to be a minimum size. We'll select boards that are larger so you can cut them down.

Don't Have Woodworking Tools?

Make It Easier to Cut to Size on Your Table Saw

All of our lumber is stocked surfaced on 2 sides - which means the face and back of the boards are good and smooth and the edges are rough sawn.

A rough edge is rarely suitable to be guided against a table saw fence.

A straight line rip puts a true edge on the board so you can run it against a table saw fence and cut the width you need. A straight line rip is also performed after measuring the board. The rip will remove 1/16" to 1/8" from the width of the board.

5 Things To Know About Size Requests

1. You will recieve wood that is larger than you request
What we do is select wood to exceed the dimensions you need - that way you can cut it down to what you want.

2. You must do the cutting/gluing to create your final sizes
This selection fee is not the same thing as a cut-to-size fee (see bottom). For example, if you request a minimum of 4" wide, you will receive boards that are wider than that. You will be able to yield 4" widths. Likewise for length requests. You'll receive boards that are longer than your request.

3. You may be charged for more wood than you order
The boards we select may compute to more footage than you anticipated. You will be billed for the actual footage that we ship. We always contact you first to discuss and make sure you get what you need and are not surprised by additional charges.

4. It might take longer
Please be patient. Selecting wood takes time to do it right. Looking for material to meet your size demands will add to the amount of time it takes us to pull your order together. But we promise to do it right, and to do it well.

5. Do You Want To Order Exact Sizes?
No problem. Please call or email us to get a custom cutting quote. We'll be happy to help. Due to the limitations of website software, we can't provide a price for custom cut wood without discussing with you first.
